When you think of music legends, Sir Tom Jones is definitely one of the first names that come to mind. This guy has been singing for years, and he still knows how to impress! In 2021, he shocked everyone during The Voice Blind Auditions with an unexpected and incredible performance. When asked to sing, Sir Tom sang Solomon Burke’s classic R&B song, “Cry To Me,” and left everyone speechless.
His voice fits the song perfectly—rich, soulful, and smooth. It was as if the song was made for him. As soon as he started singing, the crowd went absolutely wild. Even though there was no live audience because of COVID restrictions, fans on individual screens still showed their excitement. The performance quickly went viral, getting over 8 million views on YouTube. People couldn’t stop talking about it!

It wasn’t just the singing that generated the love. During the performance, one fan held up a sign saying, “Tom, give us a song, yeah!” This got the whole virtual crowd chanting and clapping. Olly Murs, one of the judges, joined in the fun, saying;
“They’re clapping, they’re all clapping, come on!”.
Tom responded, “You ever heard ‘Cry To Me’ by Solomon Burke?”
Then, without missing a beat, Tom started singing, proving exactly why he’s a living legend and making all the praise worth it.
It was a simple yet an unforgettable moment that showed how Sir Tom lives with the magical touch that most people would have to train for. Even with years of experience under his belt, he can still surprise us. And that performance wasn’t the only one that left a mark. In 2022, Tom returned to ‘The Voice’ with a moving rendition of “I Won’t Crumble With You, If You Fall,” a song that holds deep meaning for him. The audience absolutely loved it, and once again––Tom’s voice stole the show.
